On July 1, 2017, a fatal two-car crash in Irvine claimed the lives of two
victims and injured several others. The family of one of the victims killed
in the accident – a 24-year-old UC Irvine student from Los Angeles
who was a passenger in one of the vehicles – has retained our legal
team to represent them in a pending wrongful death case.

As a collision with tragic consequences, this incident is still being meticulously
investigated by local authorities and by our firm’s legal team.
The cause of the crash is still unclear, and law enforcement is looking
into whether speeding or drugs or alcohol were contributing factors. Anyone
with information about the crash is encouraged to call the Irvine Police
Department.

The facts of the case involve a crash between two sedans shortly after
3:00 am on Saturday July 1st at the intersection of Michelson Drive and Harvard Avenue. Following the
collision, one of the vehicles carrying two people caught fire. A passenger
was removed from that vehicle by witnesses, and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Both the driver and a passenger in the other vehicle, the UC Irvine student
whose family has retained our firm, died at the scene. Two other passengers
also suffered critical injuries and were taken to a trauma center.

In cases as difficult and devastating as this particular incident, our
firm goes above and beyond in our efforts to provide the compassionate
support and representation clients need. We also work diligently to conduct
our own investigations into what took place, and to help families as they
navigate their wrongful death case. These cases are designed to provide
families who lose loved ones in preventable wrecks with financial compensation
for their losses, including their emotional and mental anguish.

Just as we have done for the many victims and families we have represented
across Southern California over the years, we intend to leverage our decades
of combined experience and trial skills for the benefits of our clients
and their recovery of damages. While no amount of compensation can serve
as recompense for the tragic and unexpected loss of loved one, it can
help families as they put their lives back together, and provide a sense
of justice by holding at-fault parties accountable for their negligence.
